| HF54 Hands Free Ultrasound |
| Study: Hands Free Therapeutic Ultrasound Post Liposuction Conducted by Charles Mok, DO BACKGROUND: Therapeutic Ultrasound after surgery and injury is often used to reduce swelling, relieve pain, and promote healing. After liposuction surgery, pain and swelling dampen the excitement of the results of this otherwise very satisfying and popular cosmetic procedure. Liposuction remains the most common cosmetic surgical procedure in the US, and with advances that promote safety, rapid recovery, and minimal downtime, it is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to investigate the relative safety and effectiveness associated with the Hands Free Ultrasound manufactured by Hill Laboratories immediately following liposuction. METHODS: This was a one treatment group, single-center, randomized, non-blinded, matched-sides, prospective study. The 11 subjects with no previous liposuction treatments in the target area(s) were all 35 years of age or older. Eleven (11) female patients with 11 matched sites were treated. The sites were matched in that each treatment site was partitioned into two equal sides. One side was treated with the ultrasound unit and the other side received no ultrasound treatment following liposuction. Using a survey format to collect data following treatment, the patients were asked to describe their skin/tissue response as well as skin appearance. RESULTS: In contrast to the side not treated with the ultrasound, the majority of the patients reported reduced swelling (91%), improved-to-no pain (100%), and improved appearance (91%) on the side treated with the ultrasound. There were no side effects reported with the use of the ultrasound. CONCLUSIONS: As emphasized previously, this study provides additional evidence that stationary pulsed ultrasound can be effective in accelerating and enhancing the recovery of soft tissue injuries.
